Risk Management & Mitigation Framework: International Company
To be able to operate internationally safely, efficiently and securely, there are many risk factors that should be recognized and managed. The Supply Chain Risk Management and Mitigation Framework (SCRM) by Manuj & Mentzner provides a step-by-step approach for analyzing risk factors associated with an international company’s operational environment. The framework consists of five components: risk identification, risk analysis and risk mitigation strategies. It also includes monitoring, evaluation, strategy development, contingency plans implementation plans, and strategies for monitoring and evaluating. The SCRM framework will be applied to examine the potential risks that international companies face when they operate locally. It also includes the suppliers and demand risk.
To begin my assessment, I have selected an international clothing retailer ‘XYZ’ which operates stores globally including in local areas around Africa. First, SCRM’s Risk Identification is where all possible risks are identified using careful observation of customers or employee feedback. This information must also be taken into consideration success criteria like logistics efficiency, customer satisfaction, and ethical policies. After thorough research identifying XYZ’s potential operational risks; poor inventory control leading late deliveries incomplete orders low quality product production unsafe working conditions lack adequate safety equipment long labor hours violations customer service protocol excess packaging waste caused due mismanagement resource allocation amongst containable recognized proceed second stage
